5 western nations sanction Israeli ministers

Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Norway have imposed sanctions on Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich for allegedly inciting extremist violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, reported the Associated Press.

The two far-right politicians, key figures in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition, could face asset freezes and travel bans.

The joint action marks a rare rebuke from Israel's traditional allies, who condemned the ministers' inflammatory rhetoric and support for forced displacement and settlement expansion.

Officials stressed the sanctions target individuals, not the Israeli state.
